A few issues, car dies-blue smoke-CrankPS-new plugs

Greetings:
I finally have some time to get at my 2000 9-3 and hopefully get her running again...
My check engine light ahs been on for a year or two and the first symptom I know of is that my turbo housing had oil in it. When the car sat a bit I would get blue smoke on start up. Then the car would not start sometimes and the dealer said Crank Position Sensor and spark plugs. I changed the plugs with a plug napa said would work as the recommended plugs were $9 a piece, and the ones he sold me were much less expensive. Since the plug change, the car starts hard and also dies after running and then it cannot be started again.
Any help would be appreciated...where do I start? Are the $8/plug necessary? Would two years of oil in the turbo cause this to happen?
Thanks.
